I'm usually not one for promoting negativity but I will preface this by saying: I don't like Season 15, and I'm aware some others don't as well.

I think its tone is all over the place, its primary sources of humor don't fit with the franchise in large doses, and most of its stories either end up being cliche, inconsistent, rushed, unfinished or unnecessarily repeat developments from past seasons. Usually some kind of combination. That's not to say it doesn't have its positives, because it absolutely does. Sometimes its jokes DO work, sometimes the stories DO hit home runs, and they DO nail a lot of the characters' personalities.

What I like and dislike about this story? That can't be helped, it's just my opinion. But that's not what this is technically supposed to be about, so let's try not to be too disrespectful and just look at things from an objective point of view, purely in terms of the writing and presentation.

Now with that out of the way, onto the actual topic. Some fans have developed a sort of headcanon about Season 15's placement in the “timeline” by saying that the execution of Season 15's story was the revised version Jax uses for his movie pitch in one of the mid-credits sequences. He goes out of his way to say that the pop culture references and some of the story's plot points were creative liberties that he changed from his initial experiences. Which almost immediately fixes any inconsistencies with past seasons, because any alterations to the canon can instantly be justified by Jax's insistence on intrigue over accuracy.

Now whether or not you think that retcon excuses some of what the story does is not the point of discussion here. What is is this: how much did Jax revise for his film? How much would have to be changed in order to make Season 15's original story (as in, the hypothetical true story we never got to see that Jax's movie was based on) mesh perfectly with the fourteen seasons that came before it? And through it all, how can you sum up the remaining story, and all of its parts, in a way that doesn't interfere with established lore?

Let's remember that Jax himself was completely clueless about most important details that happened in any of the past four story arcs. Besides common knowledge of the Reds and Blues' accomplishments (they took down Project Freelancer and saved Chorus from a civil war), everything else about them is limited only to Jax's time he spent with them in his one adventure with them, and whatever they (or the Blues and Reds, or Locus) could have hypothetically told him within that short timeframe. With that knowledge in mind, let's go over the blanks he could have filled for the sake of making a totally awesome movie first and foremost, and a true story second.

Let's not split hairs over what we think was a good idea or not in terms of narrative concept, as long as the ideas themselves still make sense in some fashion. What matters is flow. I'll throw my own thoughts in the comments but in the meantime let's hear what you guys have to say.
